Violence breaks out in chaotic Taiwanese parliament

- Taiwan’s parliament descended into a brawl on Friday just days before the inauguration of Lai Ching-te, the new president.
Politicians pushed, hit and tackled each other, clambering across tables as they swarmed around the speaker’s seat in the legislative chamber after tempers became heated in a bitter dispute about parliamentary reforms.
The argument broke out over a push by the main opposition party, the Kuomintang (KMT), and its allies, to give parliament greater powers of scrutiny over the government.
This includes a controversial move to criminalise officials who are deemed to make false statements in parliament - a proposal which has been rejected by Mr Lai’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) as “an unconstitutional abuse of power”.
The unruly scenes are likely to add to speculation that Mr Lai will face a tougher challenge than President Tsai Ing-wen, his predecessor, in gaining support for his legislative policies after he takes office.

If my country were like this, I would never stop watching the sessions on the congress channel.
KMT and TPP parties hold the majority in parliament. They always collaborate to propose bills that are favor a certain foreign power(China) and not based on the interests of the Taiwanese people.
The content of yesterday's bills has not been made public, and there has been no discussion;
KMT and TPP were trying to force the bills through.This is not democracy.
They caused a conflict because DPP were trying to block the passage of the unreasonable bill.
As Taiwanese, we want to safeguard the hard-earned democracy. We do not want anyone to betray democracy and collude with foreign political forces（China) to undermine the values of democratic governance.
We have tons of memes about our congress in Taiwan.
Which country?
@@rwejiq Bullshit!!!
Im Taiwanese.I am trying to help everyone understand why they are so violence
Because our ruling party (DPP) officials frequently lie during legislative inquiries, and there is no way to stop them from lying.
Two opposition party ,KMT and TPP, through legal procedures, are working together to pass legislation that stipulates if an official lies in the legislature, they will face administrative penalties.
Since the ruling party (DPP) can no longer lie, they resort to using violence, snatching, and shoving to prevent the legislation from passing!!

Not the best way to advertize democracy.😅 especially to your ahemm .. neighbors
Maybe it's the Chinese influence or infiltration that possibly contributes to all this hostility?

So I've seen about 5 clips like this over the years, what happens afterwards? Are people arrested? There's never a follow up.
Who would arrest them? They’re the government
all of these action are politics show. no punish, no ending
They are elected lawmakers, imagine democrat and republican representatives fighting in the house
这些人都是国会议员，享有司法豁免权。
there is judicial immunity
0:39 He afterwards claimed: 'I grabbed documents and never pushed or attacked the Secretary-General Zhou Wanlai, and I respect the elders very much.'
Shamless without boundaries.
The Secretary-General is 70 years old.
Shame? This is politics. What shame?
This is your politics😂 We’ve seen much more civilized parliaments. What a chaos, what’s the point of having law? None of these politicians respects it. Monkey show 🙈
😂😂
These individuals are supposed to be educated and much more formal and respectful BUT based on what they showed...
My understanding is that many of them have gangster backgrounds. Hardly surprising this is how they behave. Not everybody can be as graceful as The Godfather.

NEVER trust the comments sections below.
that's the parliament's Taiwanese EVERY meeting happened like that. EVERY meeting. to me that's BETTER rather than being hypocrite say YES in under deal desk' money agreement. #wkwkwkwk
The bill is to give parliament (controlled by opposition) more investigative powers, so it’s opposed by ruling party. I’m sure there’s always some corruption going on too, but they also engage in hand to hand combat.
I agree. And it’s good to know people still have a backbone.
Money involve as always UNDER THE TABLE SCHEME
Not every time they fought like that, but surely it's almost a tradition for different parties to fight in Taiwanese parliament.

And that's why Taiwan is a country
Truly a Taiwanese Parliament Filibuster lol😂😂😂
insanity
I thought it was the tories lol
I don’t think they would bother to fight lol.
Don’t like the KMT either but over the last eight years, the Democratic DPP has committed numerous disgraceful acts, and they've tried everything to prevent the bill from being passed. Those who have closely followed recent party negotiations know that DPP legislators never seriously read the provisions but merely delayed proceedings with the aim of obstructing the bill's passage. They even proposed 80 different versions of the bill, with each version differing only in punctuation and a few words. Despite their majority in Congress, the DPP failed to deliver on the reforms promised over the past eight years. It's clear that there's no bill that can't be passed, only those that the DPP doesn't want to pass. Holding all the power, they have allowed Taiwan's wealth gap to reach 66 times while deceiving the international community with claims that only the DPP can protect Taiwan's sovereignty, resulting in severe hardship for the people of Taiwan.
Not 80 different versions of bill. It's the same version but proposed 80 times lol.
Some Chinese Communist Party legislators are sponsoring black-box legislation within Taiwan's Legislative Yuan. They force the bill to be filed without content and discussion. This is unacceptable to the people. On May 24, 100,000 people took to the streets to protest against the black-box legislation, which has no content and no discussion. , forced voting, shameful opposition party!
The fight began with procedural justice concerns. The opposition parties united and passed a law involving congressional reforms, including the criminalization of false statements and the enforcement of presidential hearings. The law was approved without scrutiny of each clause, and its contents were kept confidential until the vote was held in Congress. There were no public hearings or suggestions from the ruling party. Legislators from the ruling party were very upset and fought back. It's difficult to judge who is more right because, while I believe this law is good, I understand the opposition parties felt they needed to vote first to prevent the ruling party from delaying it. However, I also believe procedural justice is a crucial mechanism to prevent arbitrariness.
BULLSHIT
Two opposition party, KMT and TPP, through ""legal procedures""are working together to pass legislation that stipulates if an official lies in the legislature, they will face administrative penalties.
There were three public hearings and party negotiations where each clause was discussed, fully complying with the procedural rules of the Legislative Yuan of Taiwan.
Supporters of the ruling party should stop lying.
Is this Football game?
Yes
Rugby game. What a tackle
Shame on #KMT#中國國民黨#大陸國民黨, those losers almost ruined this great country...
Shame on #DPP (democratic regression party), that always lies.
😂 The ruling DPP oppose a bill that prevent MPs making false statements without consequences.
It is really sad for the Taiwan people to have such a government.
where is the place
Some one else shouted to the screen "Yeah run, runnn!!!" ?
Shameful
that guy in formals, is carrying documents like he is playing rugby

That's how the few countries at war currently should settle their issues and not involve the innocents...
At least this shows commitment to what they believe .
Stop fighting for no reason!!
i'm vary shame of my country these day.
為什麼
As bad as it is in the U.S., I'm still amazed that our politicians haven't gotten to this level of fighting... which makes me believe none of our elected officials and politicians are as passionate about our issues as we are. Which, by the way, also makes me believe that they are all in on the Political Game, playing us all for fools while they all cover their own backs.
台湾就这样😂
I don’t know whose idea it was to first form a parliament but they should’ve just named it a zoo.
At least they all bite no bark
How incredibly cultured
Gangsters behaving like gangsters. None of them should have been elected in the first place.
Yaawnnn… this is normal for this lot.
This kind of government will have no corruption. I have confident in this country.
In fact, it's very corruption in this country.
… then your confidence is worthless
@@ahsin314 it’s a lot better than a lot of other countries in the reason
Billions of tax payers money goes to Democratic Progressive Party members' own pockets per year, while fines Taiwanese $92,923.02 USD per person for receiving COVID vaccines, and made adultery legal, tell me if that's no corruption what is.
@@souvikrc4499 No they aren't. Taiwan is quite rich country but their citizens' average income is so so low cuz some big companies have a secret relationship with corrupted politicians. Our Gdp per capita is above South Korea's but our income is 1/2 of theirs.
Former Singapore PM LKY ever said : “I have never believed that democracy brings progress. I know it to have brought regression.”
He’s right. Western style democracy is unsuitable for Asians. We can’t BS as well as them.
They should just have a weekly rugby match and run the country based on who wins, lol 😂😂 The dude at the end would have scored a touchdown in American football 🏈 😂😅

Showy fight
Now i know why china doesnt want to reunited back with taiwan.
vice versa
TW already have local Green Commie, no need for the Red Commie.
If China somehow took back Taiwan, Xi would have big-time headaches dealing with the black sheep.
Congress is Taiwan’s entertainment program😂
I’m a Taiwanese. This happening bc KMT broke the legislative norms of passing the laws. They skipped the process of reading those details of new law draft and directly sent those draft laws to voting, which means that nobody knew what’s the draft laws they were voting for, but KMT sent it to vote knowing they would pass their draft due to majority benefit.
Skipping legislative norms shouldn’t happen in Taiwan. That is a China government thing who ripped civilian’s rights and democracy away.
😂😂😂😂
你是绿畜😅
I doubt that's the reason, from what I got from Western media, the bill criminalizes members of parliament for lying and chamber reform which gives greater scrutiny power over the government. it's obvious that the current ruling party is not going to like that.
I knew it!!! ...Knew China would have something to do with this!
Why did they do it?

DPP’s former President Tsai still showed up in a cuisine exposition and said nothing when Taiwan was surround by China jet fighters in 2022. Most of her campaign contributions are from real estate developers, let alone the China-funded Shopee shopping site registered in Singapore. Google “wikileaks Taiwan” to know DPP’s politicians have been using anti-China and independence (which US does not allow) as tools for election purposes (Taiwan’s Netanyahu?).
绿畜别胡言乱语了😅
丟臉 執政黨
Fakkkkkk
To give some insight behind the video. According to the DDP male legislator, at first he claimed that he did not remember that he had tackled a female legislator from an opponent party and knocked her off a "stadium" by grabbing her ankles! After people told him it's all caught on the video, he then explained that he accidentally "slipped on a piece of paper" which caused him to leap in the air and bumped into her 🤣 Now the DDP social media, news, TV stations are painting him as a hero to saving Taiwan's democracy.
